This old dog tries to learn new tricks

Following an article in this week's New Scientist, and a link to the website memrise.com , I'm trying to learn to recognise some well-known pieces of classical music.

Yes, I knew a few already, but I have enormous gaps in my knowledge. Time to plug a few.

It's like a massive quiz that I can sign into whenever I feel like it, and it goes over and over stuff - even sends you the odd email to remind you you need to revise. 

I figure that if it can teach me this, it's got something! Will report back on progress from time to time.
